Overview
Take a trip to Yosemite National Park on your United States Vacation
Yosemite National Park is easily recognizable from its towering granite monoliths that seem too beautiful to be sculpted by anyone other than the gods. Climbers have long revered the famous El Capitan and Half Dome rock faces, best taken in from the sweeping vista of the Yosemite Valley available from Tunnel View. The national park’s most iconic landscape is that of Yosemite Falls, where the 739m cascading waterfall pours over the cliff into a mystical cloud of white as it pounds against the rocks below. If you’re lucky, a rainbow may appear in the mist, and if you’re extra lucky, the full moon can sometimes produce enough light to bring forth a lunar rainbow.
In the heart of the park lies the rustic Yosemite Village, where you can take in the culture of the Ahwahneechee people, Yosemite’s earliest residents, at Yosemite Museum. Grab a bite to eat before exploring the Ansel Adams Gallery, known for its famous black and white landscapes.

One hidden gem is the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. Sand dunes against the backdrop of the Rockies, with sand sledding, hiking, and amazing night skies.
